Note 576 — Chapter VII · THE CASTLES OF THE NORMANS IN ENGLAND (continued 2)
Reading edition
The ruins of this keep, until 1908, were buried under so large a mound of earth and rubbish that Mr G. T. Clark mistook it for a motte, and the present writer was equally misled. It ought to be stated, before the date of this keep is finally settled, that the Gesta Stephani speaks of this castle as “editissimo aggere sublatum.” P. 106.
